Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new.
Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying secondhand is no longer an alternative, but how people of different ages now engage with fashion. Today, more than 56 million registered users come to Depop to find great value, express their own personal style and give clothes a longer life. We believe that everything you want already exists, and our role is to help people discover it.
Powered by a team of over 500 people, our company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York. In 2021, Depop became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Etsy - the global marketplace for unique and creative goods - and continues to operate as a standalone company.

We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or where they’re from. Just as our platform connects people globally, we believe our workplace should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We thrive on the power of different perspectives and experiences, knowing they drive innovation and bring us closer to our users.

The Strategy team drives Depop’s growth by answering critical questions and identifying, shaping and delivering its highest-impact opportunities. We operate at the centre of the business, partnering closely with the Executive team and senior leaders across Product, Marketing, Finance and other functions to set direction and solve complex, ambiguous problems.
The team’s scope spans three key pillars:
The Strategy Team sits alongside the Insights Team and the Internal Operations Team, together forming the ISO Org (Insights, Strategy and Operations) led by the COO. This org is the nucleus of the company and the right hand partner to senior leaders: helping Depop to make more informed decisions, driving cross-functional thinking and turning ideas more effectively into reality.
The Senior Strategy Director is responsible for leading the Strategy Team, partnering with the CEO to shape Depop’s overarching company strategy. You'll ensure the organisation is aligned behind its most important priorities, while building the teams impact across the organisation, deploying the team against the highest-value business questions and creating clarity and momentum in complex, ambiguous areas.
You will act as a trusted strategic partner to the Executive team, bringing a company-wide perspective to the company’s biggest opportunities, challenges and trade-offs. You will lead the development of Depop’s long-term strategy and company planning, ensuring strategic choices are grounded in strong commercial insight and translated into clear priorities and action.
A critical part of the role will be influencing across organisational boundaries - connecting the dots across functions, staying abreast of the most important industry insights, challenging thinking constructively and ensuring the Executive team has the strategic clarity required to make high-quality decisions.
You will also be a key partner to our new parent company, eBay, working alongside the eBay Strategy Team & senior eBay leaders to build our combined strategic direction.
